Yeah; what indeed? I mean, who would call themselves Corn Pone Flicks, and what the hell would a group so entitled do? Well, sit back and listen, and we'll tell you when you're wrong. Note that for the record, many of these questions are no longer remotely relevant to anything anyone would conceivably be asking today.

A. Corn Pone Flicks is an amateur film and parody film outfit run by us people what are listed on the "About CPF" page of this here site. We began primarily as an anime parody group, doing overdub parodies as well as the "animation vs. live-action" stuff mentioned in the article above, and then moved on to doing short live-action films, fake trailers spoofing the Hollywood crap factory, and fansubs of Matsumoto anime (which was our most popular commodity until we got sick of it and pulled those items from distribution). We invented this name at random back in 1989, though since then I've seen it misused in completely incorrect contexts by individuals who obviously have no clue what they're talking about (see next question).

A. CPF started its first work, Star Dipwads: Arrivederci, Human Race (a parody of Arrivederci, Yamato) in 1988, finishing in spring of 89, though Ive been into filmmaking since 1980, when I was ten. We've stayed more or less active since that time, though as weve actually started caring about quality in recent years, our output has slowed down a bit.

Q. Did CPF ever do a partial dub of Vampire Hunter D, and is it available?

A. We did do a test dub consisting of four scenes from the film (that's the original 1985 "D" film, not the new one) back in 1993, but we had no real plans to dub the entire film, nor was it really even possible to do so. Distributing it in an incomplete state seemed to lack any real point, so we didn't include it on this page. For all the details, go here.

A. First, I've been sick of doing so for years as it is. To read why, go here. Second, the non-stop copying was degrading my tapes and keeping my equipment in the repair shop, so I decided to halt copying to preserve my tapes, which are first and foremost MY tapes, for me to enjoy. I had said that I might, might start sending them out again after converting them to DVD, though that would be a long time away. This announcement was followed by a steady stream of nagging emails from people who apparently read that as "I'm definitely going to do it, and any second now," asking me if I'd done it yet and how much longer would it be, and could they persuade me to hurry up, etc, even though the Contact page explicity asked that people not mail me about this. So since the anime fans of the world refuse to be respectful or follow the rules, the well has now permenantly run dry. This is 100% non-negotiable.
